House Adopts Republican Budget That Calls For Medicaid Cuts
HuffPost
Lobbying by President Donald Trump himself helped sway Republican holdouts.
WASHINGTON — House Republicans unified around their budget plan on Tuesday, delivering a significant win to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and President Donald Trump.
The House adopted the resolution by a vote of 217 to 213, with all Democrats and one Republican against.
The budget resolution calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $1.5 trillion in spending cuts. It received criticism from far-right lawmakers who said the spending cuts were too small and from moderate Republicans who said they were too big.
At first, it appeared the measure lacked support, as Johnson first delayed the vote and then canceled it altogether, only to reverse courts minutes later and call members back into the Capitol.
Republicans seemed taken aback by voters complaining in town halls last week about the budget’s plans to cut Medicaid spending. Johnson downplayed the Medicaid cuts outlined in the resolution, saying they would only target waste, fraud and abuse.
The Fox News also criticized a federal worker who appeared on CNN for "whining."
